A
Europe is home to a variety of cultural treasures. Lonely Planet, the world’s largest travel guide publisher, has offered pairs of cities for culture-hungry but time-poor travelers.
London and Paris
It takes you about two hours to travel from London to Paris by Eurostar, a high-speed railway service. The two capital cities have been competing in fashion, art and nightlife for decades－but each secretly looks up to the other.
No one can doubt the grand and impressive beauty of Paris’ Louvre Museum, but if you want to save money, you cannot skip the British Museum free to visit. Compared with London, Paris has more outdoor attractions, such as the beautiful green walkway La Promenade Plantee.
In Paris, you’ll see diners linger(逗留) over red wine. While in London, you can try some afternoon tea, eat fish and chips or salted cake.
Vienna and Bratislava
Austrian capital Vienna and Slovakia city Bratislava in Slovakia are an hour apart by train. But since they are linked by the Danube River, the best way to travel is by ship. A tour of the two cities is the perfect way to experience everything from 17th century’s Habsburg dynasty’s splendor to sci-fi restaurants.
Vienna is famous for Mozart and imperial palaces. You can appreciate the perfect blending of architecture and nature in the grand Scholoss Schonbrunn Palace, and reward yourself with a cup of Vienna coffee.
Bratislava is best known for its fine dining－the remarkable UFO restaurant. You can enjoy a meat-laden dinner here in an amazing setting.

Can you imagine exchanging the pleasure of city life for a quiet life in the countryside? Many people want to move from the country to the city because they think that life in the city is more exciting and better than that in rural areas, especially young people who like new, modern things．
Very often people like to follow the fashion and feel that they can find the latest styles of some things only in the city．Other people are interested in technological things and high－tech jobs and think they can only find them in big cities．If they want to find a job, especially a good position in a company, they have to live in a city．For these jobs, they are willing to put up with many of the disadvantages of city life such as crime, heavy traffic and pollution．
However, it is now possible to enjoy the higher quality of country life and still enjoy some of the advantages of living in the city. Nowadays, a lot of information is available on the Internet, so many people are able to do their work in home offices．Many people have e-mail and personal computers, they don't have to be in big cities to manage their business．It is not important where they actually work because the results of their work can be sent everywhere with technology．So, why put up with all the disadvantages of the city life? Now they can escape the noisy city life to enjoy the quiet life in the country and be able to do the business and have successful jobs at the same time.

It was the summer of my first year of college. Instead of heading home for a nice, long break, three of my friends and I had decided to stay and take some extra courses. The four of us had rented the top floor of an old house to live in. My own bed was in a stuffy(闷热的)former laundry room and each night was a new adventure in humidity(湿气). Still, it was exciting to be out of the dormitory and in my own place for the first time. After the first few weeks, though, the excitement disappeared slowly and I began to feel homesick. I found myself sitting alone in my bedroom each night thinking of my home, and my parents.
During my childhood, my summers had always been a special time. I spent hours riding my bike, playing basketball and swimming. I sat on the porch(门廊)and talked to my mom while she tended her flowers. I took pride in helping my dad pull firewood for the winter. And every night I sat at a dinner table full of delicious food prepared with love while my family filled the room with the sound of sweet laughter. Now I found myself missing them more than ever.
Finally when I was in my lowest spirits, I heard a knock at the door. I opened it and was delighted and surprised to see my parents standing there with big smiles to fill my hungry heart and a box full of food to feed my hungry friends. We spent the afternoon eating, catching up(别后叙旧), and just being together. It felt so good, and I felt so loved.
Victor Hugo wrote that, “The supreme happiness of life is the conviction（坚信）that one is loved.”It was that gift of happiness that my parents gave me that aftern oon and every day of my life. It was their love that gave me a taste of true love. May you always know that you are loved, and may you always share your happiness with the
world.

If you’re hoping to lose weight, forget about relying on the willpower(意志力). Scientists say what you really need is a little forward planning. Make healthy shopping lists, take fruit to work, and even spend some time thinking up excuses to turn down others’ offers of sweet treats, and the pounds will drop off.
The study focused on how people can increase their daily intake of fruit and vegetables. This leads to weight loss, because you fill up on healthy foods and feel less tempted(诱惑的) to eat sweets. The key to success is planning ahead. Write a list and make a wise plan to change behavior or lose weight, because this is a method that works.
The researchers studied more than 200 people aged 18 to 50. They were asked how much fruit and vegetables they had eaten in a day in the last week. The team also asked if they wanted to increase their intake of these foods, how they would do so,
what problems they might face and what health benefits it could have. People, who said they would plan ahead of time, were more likely to succeed in eating healthily. What’s more, those who understood the health benefits of eating well also found it easier to change their habits.
Planning is particularly helpful in some situations, such as when you are offered cakes at work. Knowing what to say ahead of time makes avoiding temptation much easier. Dr. Cristina Godin said, "We found that having proper methods to deal with a range of eating situations is very important. It can help people manage their daily dietary (饮食的) choices."
Planning menus and taking fruit to the workplace are examples of methods some people use. Planning is a great process that helps people to make the right choices. Eating more fruit and vegetables has been proven to keep weight down, because it can replace less healthy food.
13.The underlined word "This" in Paragraph 2 probably refers to_________.
A. The frequent intake of sweets.
B. Eating fruit and vegetables daily.
C. The action of planning earlier.
D. The idea of going on a diet.
14. What do you need to do in order to lose weight?
A. Take enough exercise.
B. Do it with your friends.
C. Have a plan ahead of time.
D. Only eat fruit and vegetables.
15. Who will change their living habits more easily?
A. Those who know their strengths and weaknesses.
B. Those who are fond of eating junk foods.
C. Those who want to have a more comfortable life.
D. Those who understand the benefits of healthy eating.
